Highlights of the 2023 Australian Model Expo scale model show 

The Figure of CAPTAIN MAINWARING won me. I would buy it in a heart-beat. Great work all round.

Thanks for posting David !

Awesome ! Thanks 👌👌👌👌

Thanks for this and your light-hearted commentary.👍👍👍 I was there and missed much of what you filmed . I think the smell of fried food distracted me.🤣😂🤣. Agree about the lighting. Always raised by many.🌝

good show nice walk over the model show keep them coming

Been waiting for this David - great to see and thanks for sharing! Hopefully I can get there next year....cheers Chris

Well done Dave.

Stunning works, all of them. Much enjoyed and appreciated. Thanks Dave. Take care

Thanks Dave - it's always great to see the work on display at these shows. So many great models - very inspiring.

Great video, Dave! The Japanese aircraft display was fantastic. I don't think I've ever seen so many in one spot. The dioramas were stunning. Amazing creativity all around. Thanks for making this video!

Awesome show ! So many great builds , WOW . Full watch ! Japanese display is just great . NYC Police car , so many favorites. Mike.

What a wonderful show great to see them happening again. Thanks Dave....KA

Thanks for the peek. Some really wonderful and inspiring stuff there, would love to have been at the show.

Absolutely a lot of badass models, fantastic Dave 👍👍🤘✌️

Superbe modelling there😊 thanks for sharing it !

Very cool models and figures.

Great show Dave. I thought the bust of the woman with the skulls in her bonnet(?) next to Princess Leia was brilliant. I also like ships although I'm working up a hatred for a Revell Mayflower, vintage 1966 (yipes)! It has more flash than Gordon so I'm putting it down to rubbish 1620 trees, but I won't be defeated. Nice one again, all the best.

That's amazing

The two helicopters are in order a Westland WS-61 "Sea King" (British Licenced Sikorsky S-61) And the Bell AH-1Z Viper or possibly the AH-1(4B) W which was the test version. These differ from the standard "Cobra" having 4 rotor blades, twin engines and the AH-1Z having an upgraded Target sight system (TSS) 😉

Thank you mate Dave's that was very nice video i am from Brisbane 💯🤟🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼.

0:45 - Sea King Helicopter, one after it is a Huey Cobra.

great vid....thanks for posting.....many we dont see in canada

Nice report. Looking forward to a better camera next year!! :)

Thanks for the insight Dave, as you mentioned, the tables are looking bare. I'm surprised, I thought this was the biggest comp in Australia? Or is that another? Only 2 months to go for ours up here in QLD, QMHE.

First expo in many years. Will be back next year. ✌️ x

The corsair and divers was fantastic. Do you know the author? Thanks for the tour!

"Square" Roundels. 🤣🤣🤣

I think the main reason for your blurry photos is because a dirty lens. If you use your cellphone it is critical to wipe the lenses before taking photos like yours. All the fingering and talking on the phone makes the camera lens dirty from smudge and that has a huge effect on the light reflecting. Nice video. 👍🏻

There were P-40s everywhere!

👍👍👍👍

That railway dio is "straight", I.e. not done at an angle. I do mine like that. Judges, I suspect, Mark you down for that. You're right - it should be a deciding factor regarding imagination and storytelling for dioramas. Thx.

I didn't even know we had such a thing in Victoria ... how do you find about about it?

Dang

The police car diorama was built by a guy whos daytime job is a police officer

*promo sm* 💔

Yes you should apologise. Why bother with such a useless camera or phone or whatever you used?
